The Chairman, Media Committee of the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Presidential Campaign, Dr Doyin Okupe, has expressed confidence that his principal will defeat other aspirants to emerge the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential candidate on Saturday.

Okupe, in a statement on Thursday, explained that Saraki had secured the assurances of serving PDP governors, senators and majority of the delegates across the country, to enhance his victory.

He said, “We are in Port Harcourt to compete fairly and contest with all seriousness. We recognise the obvious potential of fellow aspirants. Bukola Saraki has a wide range of support within the rank and file of the PDP.

“A clear majority of serving state governors in the PDP are backing Bukola Saraki. The senators have also given him their words to back him. This is a determinant factor on who emerges the party’s candidate on Sunday.

“The message of Saraki, which is inclusiveness, equity and the programme to grow Nigeria, is unrivalled and this is what he has consistently preached all over the nation.” – Punch
